Alongside the all-new, higher-end Studio Display XDR, Apple has updated the regular version of the Studio Display with some new features.
Here is what is new for the lower-end Studio Display, according to Apple:
- Two Thunderbolt 5 ports (up to 120Gb/s), with one upstream port (provides 96W pass-through charging) and one downstream port for connecting accessories or daisy-chaining up to four additional Studio Displays
- The built-in 12-megapixel Center Stage camera now supports Desk View
- The six-speaker sound system's woofers deliver "30 percent deeper bass" compared to the previous Studio Display
Only the higher-end Studio Display XDR received a 120Hz refresh rate, mini-LED backlighting, increased brightness, and faster 140W pass-through charging.
The regular Studio Display still has a 60Hz refresh rate and up to 600 nits of brightness.
Both models have 27-inch displays with a 5K resolution.
Both new Studio Displays have the same overall design as the original model, but the 12-megapixel Center Stage camera now supports Desk View.
Overall, here are the Studio Display's other key specs:
- 27-inch Retina display with 5K resolution (LCD without mini-LED backlighting)
- 5120-by-2880 resolution at 218 pixels per inch
- 60Hz refresh rate
- Up to 600 nits brightness
- P3 wide color gamut support with 1 billion colors
- True Tone
The new Studio Displays can be pre-ordered starting Wednesday, March 4 at 6:15 a.m. Pacific Time, ahead of a Wednesday, March 11 launch. In the U.S., the Studio Display continues to start at $1,599, while the Studio Display XDR starts at $3,299. You can upgrade both models to anti-reflective, nano-texture glass for an additional $300. A height-adjustable stand and VESA mount adapter also remain available as upgrade options.
Apple includes a "Thunderbolt 5 (USB‑C) Pro Cable" in the box.
Apple has discontinued the Pro Display XDR and its Pro Stand.
